The importance of the accession of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the European educational space is determined. Continuity of the education process, today, is one of the basic principles in the educational policy of Kazakhstan. The article presents the characteristics of such concepts as «formal education», «non-formal education», «informal education», according to the special terminology of UNESCO (formal education is a process of acquiring knowledge that takes place in a well-organized and hierarchically ordered context, culminating in the issuance of a state sample; non-formal education, in turn, is characterized by the acquisition of knowledge outside the specialized educational space; informal education is an individual human activity aimed at the cognitive process and does not always have a specific result). The article proves the need to merge formal, non-formal and informal education, which, in turn, makes it possible to prepare a person for life in a rapidly changing environment and ensure full-fledged career development of the individual, preserving his individuality, and satisfying his career and life needs.

Non-formal and informal aspects of education are nowadays related to the concepts of recurrent and lifelong learning, as literature significantly supports the importance of education, learning and training that takes place outside typical educational institutions. As lifelong learning is the master concept that could shape educational systems and economies, non-formal education includes any organized educational activity outside the established formal systems that serves identifiable learning objectives, while informal education refers to the lifelong process where every individual acquires knowledge, attributes, skills, values and behaviors from daily life’s experience. Furthermore, as there is currently a strong trend worldwide, to include similar practices in internal policy strategies, new alternative terms arise such as community learning, community education, etc. together with many pilot initiatives. During the recent years, such initiatives have already taken place in many countries, proving that similar actions could greatly contribute to individuals’ knowledge and skills enhancement as well as help in mitigating social inequalities, tackle unemployment, achieve a better match between jobs and skills, and thus improve employment through economic development by supporting human capital productivity. Due to the promising advantages of the organized establishment of non-formal and informal education, the present paper focuses on a thorough analysis of the aforementioned concepts and describes the initiative of a relevant research in Greece, conducted by the authors. The research consists of two parts, one that includes a reliable and representable sample of educational organizations (bodies), examining the current ways used to support and certify certain fields of informal education, noting the typical ways currently used to recognize non-formal and informal learning as well as an additional sample of individuals (beneficiaries) that are interested in further support, validation and certification of non-formal education and informal acquired learning. The results are expected to contribute to the process of highlighting information on the intensity of the demand for recognition of prior knowledge through mediation certification procedures by adult education organizations, as well as to the submission of proposals for the operation of the relevant national mechanisms under development in Greece, according to the European Directive 2012.

Despite being older and more pervasive than formal education, the history of nonformal and informal education is less fully examined by historians of education. This chapter explores the unique opportunities and challenges experienced by historians studying nonformal and informal education. The spectrum of nonformal and informal education is incredibly diverse and includes the set of all social institutions that serve to shape an individual’s knowledge and values. It spans museums and libraries, popular media, and even casual relationships between young people and more experienced members of their communities. The study of the history of nonformal and informal education brings to the fore ontological questions about educational history, including what counts as an educational institution, the differences between education and entertainment, and whether the same research methods that apply to the study of formal educational institutions can be applied to the study of their less formal counterparts.

The pesantren educations that were initially oriented only on deepen-ing religious knowledge have begun to include general subjects. The inclu-sion of these subjects is expected to expand the horizons of students’ thought in which they will also take the national examination held by the govern-ment. The informal education outcomes are appreciated to be equivalent to formal education after passing the assessment of equivalency process con-ducted by agencies appointed by the government or local authorities by ref-erence to national education standards. The pesantren has a special place and position in the national education system. Therefore, the pesantren should always make improvements and increase its education quality.<br /><br /><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p>Pesantren sebagai cikal bakal lembaga pendidikan yang asli Indonesia baru mendapat pengakuan secara yuridis pada tahun 2003 melalui UU Sisdiknas No. 20 Tahun 2003. Pendidikan pesantren yang pada mulanya hanya berorientasi pada pendalaman ilmu agama semata-mata mulai memasukkan mata pelajaran umum. Masuknya mata pelajaran ini diharapkan untuk memperluas cakrawala berpikir para santri dan biasanya pula para santri mengikuti ujian negara yang diadakan oleh pemerintah. Hasil pendidikan nonformal dapat dihargai setara dengan hasil program pendidikan formal setelah melalui proses penilaian penyetaraan oleh lembaga yang ditunjuk oleh pemerintah atau pemerintah daerah dengan mengacu pada standar nasional pendidikan. Posisi pesantren dalam sistem pendidikan nasional memiliki tempat dan posisi yang istimewa. Karena itu, sudah sepantasnya jika kalangan pesantren terus berupaya mela-kukan berbagai perbaikan dan meningkatkan kualitas serta mutu pendidikan di pesantren.<br /><br /></p>
